A silent aircraft with rotors enclosed inside its fuselage lifted off in front of an auditorium in downtown Wuhan, the capital of Hubei province, during a public display on February 24.
This leaves me with even more questions.

Mf has at least eight rotors and can lift half a ton, so just assume it’s loud as fuck.

Every angle appears to be a different design…

Wow that is terribly ad ridden.

It never stops being so fucking weird that people choose to not use ad-blockers, and then complain about ads. Do you also not wear seat belts and then complain about neck pain after fender benders, or eat raw meat and then complain about getting sick? It’s just as dumb.

It’s weird to me that people complain about how long it takes to get to work, why don’t they just aggressively speed to get there earlier?
Sites need money to run and many rely on ads. Blocking them is an asshole move (that I admittedly do) but so is dumping them all over a page. It would be nice to have some sort of pay for what you use alternative but until then, bitching isn’t half as weird and obnoxious as whatever you’re doing in this comment

No ads here ,which browser do you use ?
chasingtheflow@lemmy.world 3 weeks ago
Apparently I touched a nerve with some. But I was just using the built in browser for voyager on iOS. But I also have nextdns and Mullvad in-use which normally provides fairly good coverage for me but evidently not on this site.

Does the definition of VTOL not include the ability to transition to forward thrust? Looks cool but I’d just call it a multicopter
winkerjadams@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 weeks ago
It stands for Vertical Take Off and Landing
PumaStoleMyBluff@lemmy.world 3 weeks ago
The implied part of VTOL is that it’s only vertical for takeoff and landing, and otherwise primarily a horizontally propelled craft.
floquant@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 weeks ago
Yes I do know that, but I am not aware of any aircraft that is “a VTOL” but only does vertical take off and landing

Ok, but can’t they make it look less like a 1950s movie version of a UFO?
ebolapie@lemmy.world 3 weeks ago
Can they make it look MORE like a 1950s movie version of a UFO?
